  WHO'S 40 OR NEARLY 40!!!!!

  by bubble in

  hi everybody and happy new year.

  2007 is the year i turn 40, in fact in exactly one month's time to be precise.. i've noted that a lot of people on jwd are a similar age to me.

  i think it's because it takes us this long to pluck up the courage to finally leave the borg.. i need to know how turning 40 makes you feel.

  Bubble I am 45 and heading for an AARP card shortly, turning 40 was nothing and you are as old as you tell yourself. I don't feel or look anywhere near 40 or 45. I have three grown kids and two granddaughters and my wife and I are always mistaken for the parents when we have them. We excercise 5-6 times a week with weight training and cardio, eat really well and look like we are in our 30's. It is all in your mind. I am in better shape now then when I was younger as I have the time to take care of myself instead of children

  I am sorry to hear of your situation with your husband and hopefully he will be home soon, it is a shame even when going through hardship a person cannot even being human, what a crying shame. I thank God for releasing me from that.

  how many find that they need or want to be on the forum at least once a day?

  do you like keeping up with fellow posters and friends or do like being able to give your thoughts without the fear of being criticized?

  i look at some of the amounts that some have posted wow and i am no better for only being here less than a month, it is a great place to talk and get loads of wisdom from others on a variety of subjects, thanks everyone for the thoughtful expressions and heartfelt posts.. abr.

  this is the question i asked on terry's excellent post.

  Jesus and the apostles would preach in the same manner as they did, without the use of money and ONLY the scriptures, the HS he promised said not to keep adding and going beyond the things written, they would have no Bethel, they gave freely and so they would not need a corp. Jesus was about truth not numbers, by their fruits you will know them,

  Would not die for country and don't think it is a good idea, to me I believe the Bible and to die for Christ is a different story but not for the ruler of this world.

  there were twelve actors that i liked that died this year.

  most of them were about 10 years older than me.

  that means, that if i'm lucky, i've got about 10 years left.

  Undecided, that is why I don't go to church, but I do believe in the Bible and the solid hope that is centered around Christ, there is an afterlife a resurrection if you will. I don't think we can put a finger on it and say we know every detail but there is definitely more than this life has to offer and it is a garuntee.
